We performed SLT laser for both eyes as primary treatment. 👀

Just the tip of the inceberg as far as light therapies targeted for ophthalmology. More to come!

Today was a reminder that not every patient with a blinding cataract had access to an eye surgeon. Thankful that I do and that I had access to the training to tackle these! 🌛🌝
